Just wondering the effect rear led turn signal bulbs would have. The have the correct 150 deg offset is it still the same offset for a 2013? http://www.ebay.com/itm/121121300078?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

You could let us know-But the Normal 7507 in the turn application mode should last Years?

I bought a pair of those and gave them a try. They were a great fit and worked fantastic using the four-way flashers but did the hyper-flash thing when using them in the normal turn signal way.

So disappointed and not sure why they didn't work.

Carl That's what I was afraid of what year is yours. In my Corvette they required a different flasher to operate. Has anyone tried them in a 2013?

Unfortunately, switching the flasher is not an option with the Spyder. Flashing is done by the gauge cluster processor.

Ballast resistor maybe?

The LED's don't have a ballast but you are correct one of the solutions is to add a resistor to the led. The hyperflashing occurs because not enough current ( wattage is Current X Voltage)) is being drawn by the LED so the control thinks the bulb is burnt out. Adding a resistor allows more current flow. I forgot about that solution. A lot of Vette owners who switch go the resistor route. I am wondering if these LED's are brighter or not before I try it?
